How much coffee were you drinking a day? I'm curious, because I kicked the habit about a month ago [0], and didn't suffer any ill effects. In fact, I actually felt really good the first few weeks. My habit, though, was relatively mild--I would, at most, have 3 cups of coffee a day.
[0] I am not 100% caffeine-free. I still drink decaf coffee, and will occasionally have a cup of green tea during the day.
- bryanlarsen 13y agoI didn't drink a lot more caffeine than you. It's hard to say, since I my sources and timing varied a lot, which may have been part of my problem. I had a lot of problems with headaches. That's why I quit caffeine, as an experiment to see if that was the cause. The worst headaches were on the final week, when I was transitioning from very little caffeine to no caffeine.
- bmj 13y agoInteresting. My wife had similar issues when she stopped drinking coffee, too. She didn't quit cold turkey, either. I stopped because I suspected the caffeine was contributed to my border-line hypertension. While there isn't necessarily a hard link between caffeine consumption and high blood pressure, I figured it certainly couldn't hurt to stop drinking so much caffeine each day.
